Why does a porous canvas bag with water cool when slung on the outside of a fast-moving car in hot weather?
Arrface
Evaporation is a cooling process. The water molecules that escape the surface of the bag were those that were fast moving. If you remove the fast moving molecules, the ones left behind are slower and, thereby, colder. The faster you remove them the colder the aggregate becomes. Hanging the bag on the front of a fast moving car is a good way to remove them quickly.

YES, drywall is very porous material. If left outside, even covered, in damp conditions it will gain nearly 50 % of it's weight in moisture.
What is a permeable rock and why does it weather easily?
Porous rocks weather more easily for different reasons:Many porous rocks are made from softer materials, thus being more easily weatheredPorous rocks, by definition, tend to have lots of spaces in them where, on a microscopic or even macroscopic level, areas of the rock are not connected on all sides to other rock. As a result, there is less resistance to fracture or other separationsWater can infiltrate porous rocks and dissolve from the inside as well as the outside - even if only very slowlyBecause water can infiltrate porous rocks, they can be fractured from within when the water freezes

To glue a stainless steel outdoor garden sculpture to a black marble base - What can you use to permanently bond them and that can withstand being in outside weather?
An epoxy resin two part glue may be suitable.There may be issues with marble that is outside in a climate where frosts occur. Marble is porous and any moisture absorbed will expand upon freezing, possibly damaging the marble.

Metal is not porous. Many other elements are porous though and when metal combines with them it can potentially become porous.

more porous
Can you use interior paint outside?
Interior paint is more porous and less resistant to the elements than a paint actually devised to use outside. A flat paint finish or a satin paint finish is better outside, a gloss paint finish can also be used but only sparingly, as it reflects light and may highlight more flaws.
